Philippe Garigue became involved in numerous theoretical and normative debates in Québec, which prompted him to embark on a similar exercise for French Ontario after coming to Toronto in 1980. Garigue has an original viewpoint of this community, one which brings to the foreground Toronto’s particular position in the context of French-speaking Ontario. Garigue’s works on Francophone Ontario have almost no echo among the contemporary works about this society. We mobilize this corpus in order to respond to two questions: What are Philippe Garigue’s contributions to the study of French Ontario? To what degree are these contributions still current? This article has three parts. First, we present a brief biography of the sociologist. Second, we synthesize Garigue’s contributions according to four themes: community life, education, politics, and identity. Third, we explore the parallels between Garigue’s work and the work of scholars who put forth a postnational approach to study French Ontario, though there are certain disagreements between these works as well.
